Daniel Salloi was the goalscorer for Sporting on the evening, although his knee slide was probably more impressive than his goal. Tim Melia & the defense get the praise as they picked up their fourth shutout in the last five matches.
With the first kick of the ball the Rapids showed off their game plan - a long, hopeful ball over the top. The visitors were content to sit back, stay compact, and wait for to counter-attack.
